Our Remarks

As a final point, the Leupold BX 1 McKenzie optics are excellent compact 10×42 binoculars. You can upgrade the objective lens of your binoculars for the size of 50mm lens with the Leupold Rogue 10×50 mm to get more value for your money. But, the transformation is not very attractive that you are making a move from a Roof Prism Binocular to a Porro Prism Binocular.

However, Leupold BX1 is economical and can survive in all weather conditions, but it got the glass prism of Leupold’s quality. In case you want a binocular having the advantage to offer you with nearer close focus distance along with longer eye relief, there are the Redfield Rebel 10X42 binoculars. But, you have to narrow down your choice for a specific product based on two factors at least: budget and need.
